Some suggestions: Replace "delegate their responsibilities" with ", by written action, delegate specific responsibilities of their position". Add after "IESG and IAB respectively." "A delegation must be reconfirmed if a change in the scope of the delegation is desired." Replace "The terms of delegation..." with "The effective duration of delegation shall be selected by the delegator, but shall not extend past the end of that delegator's current term. Delegations may be renewed indefinitely." Add at the end "A delegation may be revoked with or without prior notice at any time by the delegating chair or CEO or by action of the confirming body."

I have a small preference for the IAB and the IESG keeping the control point, and I implicitly assume that for IASA matters the persons delegated to will escalate to the chairs and ask for specific guidance when appropriate. I realize that for the Trust anybody serves on personal title. For the trust alignment with the IAOC membership is just a practical considerations. > >The shared requirement is unloading the I* chairs and the ISOC president and empowering the people that serve in that role to organize themselves.
